The Whitby Literary & Philosophical Society runs Whitby Museum, Library and Archives and has monthly lectures. The Society was established in 1823 and has around 800 members. It is one of the very few remaining Literary & Philosophical Societies that still runs an independent Museum, the older parts of which are often regarded as a 'Museum within a Museum' and have the atmosphere of an Edwardian Museum.

Taking objects off display
Today we have been taking some objects off display temporarily and carefully packing them, storing them while the room is repainted. One of today's objects was this beautiful Maori cloak. I have never seen it close up before as it was at the back of the cabinet. It is a fascinating thing, beautifully made and I am excited about the prospect of displaying this so that it is easier for visitors to see and appreciate it when we re-display it in February.
